WXYZ: Vice President and General Manager, Station Manager, Sales.
“He’s been there 43 years, through the eras of Bill Bonds, Diana Lewis and Jerry Hodak, to name just a few of the area legends who have beamed from the station’s Southfield studios into Metro Detroiters’ homes. He was hired in 1982 after an internship in the sales department and has turned that into a long and rewarding career, helping to foster WXYZ’s strong ties in the community. He now oversees some 200 employees as the manager of the station, as well as WMYD-TV (Channel 20), and is a regional vice president at Scripps, parent company of the two stations.” [The Detroit News, Adam Graham, June 5, 2025 – Michiganians of the Year – WXYZ-TV’s Mike Murri uses platform to help Metro Detroit]
